Rustic cabin in a quiet neighborhood on the lake
If rustic and relaxing is your jam, then you have come to the right place! The lake was just steps away down a short, slight grade. The dock was perfect for anchoring a boat and fishing. The house was clean, and the beds were VERY comfortable!! Sofas could use updating, but they served their purpose. There was a cooktop and oven, which I noticed in some of the other reviews. They had everything needed to charcoal grill which was fantastic! We will definitely come again for our next tournament!

Great fishing spot
The house was good with everthing you need. My boyfriend caught 5 fish, all which were huge. The walk to the dock is short, but the hill back up is challenging. We really enjoyed our stay and thanks to our host for being so accommodating!

Birthday weekend
We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Bone yard, such a beautiful location. The house was perfect for our family of 5 and was even able to bring our fur baby which made all the difference. They also had lots of recreational things for our family to use while we stayed which was very thoughtful. Can’t wait to book again.

Family 4th
We really enjoyed our stay at the Bone Yard. We arrived a little bit early than check in and the host let us go ahead with check in as the house was ready before 4pm. Great location and all the neighbors we encountered were super nice. The dock was awesome and well used as we had 2 boats with us. The only complaint we had was the house being so old the a/c couldn't keep up so it was just warmer in the house than what we are use to but it didn't effect our enjoyment of the stay. Master bed was the only room without a fan to help out so bring one with you. We saw that there wasn't a cook top in the kitchen but we found a 2 burner plug in type under the counter so thats not a problem. All in all we had a great time

Very relaxing and quiet
We went here for a quiet getaway and got exactly what we needed. We brought our 2 dogs and it was very dog friendly! I cant say enough good things about our stay, but it was absolutely beautiful and the dock is amazing. The perfect quiet little cove for a swim and for boating. I loved the rustic/cottage feel of the inside of the home. And the back yard was very pretty. You can sit on the sunporch and look at the dock and the water in the mornings with your coffee. I will definately be back in the future! Mrs. Bone was a perfect host and answered any questions very quickly!

Perfect Weekend
Everything was as described. We grilled and used our fish cooker. There was a lot of extra stuff for things we left at home like utensils and a grease thermometer!
Owners are very responsive and helpful. The house is older but very clean and set up perfect for hog owners!!
Not issues for us but a few things that could be known for awareness.
- the driveway is steep. If pulling a bigger boat have 4wd. I do so no issues. Not a lot of room to turn around.
- water holds on the front patio when it rains. But an available squeegee made it easy to push water
- dock is near big water so in busy part of day boat traffic rocks you pretty good….but made for great napping conditions.
- come out of the dock, take a right, go under bridge, first big slew on your right!! Catfish heaven. We tossed jugs it and slayed them!
If they’d have us we would definitely stay again!!

Cute cabin great for short visit
The no stove top is my biggest concern and it is listed, went to use the electric griddle that is also listed and assuming previous guest left greasy as it was dirty and disgusting. Used the charcoal grill to do all cooking which made it slow. Our trip was primary a fishing trip but they have storage shed with some nice additions for things to do over summer. Nice location, electric at the dock and everything is as advertised. I'll be back if they remodel and add the stovetop. Also very nice touch with complimentary snacks. After traveling for several hours, it was nice to have a couple snacks.

Nice little cabin by the water
Nice, but not what we expected. If you are looking for a clean cabin as a place to stay overnight between fishing trips, this place is probably for you. If you are hoping to have a cozy place to stay with a nice view, it's probably not. Bare, incandescent lightbulb fixtures, painted plywood floors and a worn out exterior detracted from our relaxation at the cabin. The screen porch off the living room and all the brush at the edge of the yard blocked the view of the lake. Warning, there is no stove in the kitchen, which we were not expecting at all. The dock was nice and we used it to tie up our boat throughout our stay. Being right on the main part of the lake was great.

Very nice
We stayed just as a family of 5 until the weekend, two of our family/friends came in with their kids! We had a lot of fun hanging out on the dock! My favorite is the screened in back porch, we had cool mornings to enjoy coffee out there! Our kids loved the shady back yard to run and play around. The house nothing fancy but it did the job! The location is perfect, we will be back for sure!

Fantastic!
We went to the Boneyard for the Memorial Day weekend. We have visited McCormick many times over the last 15 years. This property checked a lot of boxes for us: truly family friendly, clean, great dock, perfect porch, close to bait/marina/ groceries. The only thing that could have been better was the weather! Coldest and rainiest Memorial Day I can remember in 30+ years of living in SC. We hope to visit again soon so we can get on the boat for a more enjoyable trip. The yard was larger than we expected, so next time we will bring cornhole or badminton. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Another awesome week
This was our 3rd time staying here for a week. Me and my husband absolutely love this rental! Ms Linda is wonderful and always tries to work with us, and is always easy to get ahold of! House is always clean and well stocked with everything we need…..but the best part is the covered dock! We love to fish, so having the covered dock is great for keeping the boat clean, and power at the dock helps us to charge the trolling motor and batteries so easy! Neighbors are so sweet and friendly! Our grandson and furbaby enjoyed visits from the neighbors dogs! Such a pet friendly neighborhood! Will be booking again!

Perfect Lake getaway
Super clean property with spectacular lake views and a dock for fishing. The screened in porch is a bonus.
The lack of a stovetop was not an issue since a pkug in burner was available and we brought a griddle.
Check in was an issue BUT only because T Mobile didn't have a signal and i did not print out contact info.
